{The Devil pulls the strings which make us dance;
We find delight in the most loathsome things;
Some furtherance of Hell each new day brings,
And yet we feel no horror in that rank advance}

Sylvie was still recovering, but day by day she was feeling better. For the last three months her and Rachel didn't make any move against each other. It looked like they had way more important things to pay attention to than their fight.

That morning, Sylvie woke up and prepared breakfast for her girlfriend and served it along with her daily rose. Bella woke up and got dressed. They left the house before the noon, since they were going for a walk by the sea and Sylvie was preparing a romantic dinner for two. Candles, expensive wine and delicious dishes and sweets.
They got in the car and drove through the city centre when finally arrived at their destination. A lonely beach, far away from the crowded and noisy town. There were only them, the sea and the sky. In front of there eyes there was the magical horizon that was looking towards no where.
Sea is the most unexpected thing in the entire world. Sylvie was loving it because it was like every human. Sometimes dark with huge huge waves that can kill and sometimes it's bright and calm.
They started walking across the sea while holding their hands tight. That day was really special.

"Can you believe that it has already been a year since the first time you pinned me against a wall?"
Bella and Sylvie were exactly a year together. Since it was their first anniversary, Sylvie wanted to make it special.
"Is this for real going to be your catchphrase for today?"

Nothing could break their happiness today. While they were walking, Sylvie couldn't take her eyes off from Bella. She was stunning. Her gentle lips, her soft skin, her bright eyes... She was a pure angel.
They finally decided to sit down since Bella was getting tired. It was a hot day but the fresh air coming from the sea was cooling down their hot bodies. They sat there for a while. They were both looking at the beautiful view in front of them.
"I'm kinda hungry." Bella said.
"You want a fish?"
"You are going to grab it from the bottom?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Sylvie's humor wasn't the funniest but Bella was still enjoying her weird jokes. She knew that she was from the very few that was making Sylvie smile truly.
"Sylvie...for how long do you think we are going to last?"
"Forever." The brunete answered to her without even thinking. She didn't hesitate at all. She knew they were going to last forever.
Bella got lost in her thoughts again. When she turned around to look at Sylvie she realised there was something going on.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't breathe."
Her eyes were locked at no where. Like she was trying to understand everything with her body.

The same cold and silver feeling. Cold sweater ran down her forehead. She could hear them. She could feel them. Someone was following them.
She looked around her and spotted a small wall closer to the sea, probably from an old building.
"Bella go hide down there. Don't come out until I get back."
She ordered her and Bella did as she was told, without asking any farther questions. She ran and hide behind the wall, always keeping an eye on Sylvie who got up and walked closer to the trees.

The sun wasn't letting her sea clear. Like it was trying to make her blind. She reached for her gun, but before she managed to grab it a bullet flew from the trees and got stack on her right leg. The sound from the gun made the birds from the trees fly high, but she couldn't.
Four men walked out of the trees and Sylvie recognised the one of them.
"Sylvie!" Bella screamed and tried to run close to her.
"Stay the fuck down!" Sylvie yelled back at her and the other hide again. But it was too late. The four of them had seen where Bella was.
Sylvie was holding her leg trying desperately to stop the blood running from her thigh. But the ache on her leg wouldn't stop her.
"Well...well...look who's still alive. Next time I'll make sure to head shot you." Tony Rodriguez, a not so famous or capable assassin. He was working with William Collins for years and they were friends. Immediately Sylvie knew this man was sent by William aka Rachel.
The three other men ran towards her and Sylvie raised her gun and head shot the one of them before the other two grabbed her.
They were strong or Sylvie was exhausted. However, she managed to trap on of them between her arms and squeeze his neck until he turned blue. But before she got to kill him she felt a sharp her warm feeling on her head. The other man had hit her with a stone.
"What the fuck, dude?" Sylvie would never fall from such small injure. She let the other man and pulled her knives out of her belt. The hot sun was burning her alive and he was strangling to breathe. She was putting all her effort to stay up and not fall cause of her leg. The sand around her was full of blood. They were punching each other, Sylvie breaking his teeth and nose, leaving him passed out for a minute. During that one minute she ran back to the other man, who was on the ground half dead and cut his neck. Letting the warm blood of his body jump out of his neck getting her hands and clothes dirty. Two were dead. Two more to go. She could do it. But before she got to get up someone grabbed her from behind. She was stabbing him over and over and over again. Her breathe was lasting. Her head was feeling heavy. Her hands were working on their own. Cutting parts of his hands and three of his fingers when he finally released her neck. He fell on the ground screaming in pain, while his body parts were thrown around him. Without hesitation or stopping even to catch her breathe she ran on him like an animal.
"No! Please stop! I was just paid to d-" he didn't got to finish his sentence. Sylvie's knife entered his neck and all his blood was spotted through his mouth on her face.
The three of them were defeated successful.
